Hillary only needs to win PA by 102%

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

Obama pledged delegate lead: 161
Pennsylvania available pledged delegates: 158

Assuming even split among other contests. Not counting superdelegates. If you do count superdelegates, and assume current trend continues, she'll need a bigger win.

:evilgrin:

[NorthernSpy]

1. Diebold can deliver!

:tinfoilhat:

[Rosa Luxemburg]

6. She probably has asked Bush for the key

[scheming daemons]

2. Don't discount Fast Eddie's ability to do that for her...

...

[CreekDog]

3. don't underestimate the Clintons!

:eyes:

[Mooney]

4. It's actually 101.01898734177%

Saying she needs 102% is pure anti-HRC spin.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

7. I'm getting 101.898%

There's that Hillary math again.

:P

[Mooney]

8. What matters is that it's a state that COUNTS!

And I'm sure that if Hillary wins it, her team will spin it as a 101.898% victory.

[4_Legs_Good]

5. LMAO

Nice!

9. I predict that the African-Americans in Pennsylvania put her over the top.

[chiffon]

10. too too funny!

:rofl:

I don't why, but this really made me laugh.

[Laughing Mirror]

11. Brilliant!

[underpants]

12. She can do it, I hear that she often stays up until 3 AM

:spank:

[cboy4]

13. If she wins PA. will this be yet another huge state that

voted for her?

Wow.

Just last week it was Texas and Ohio.

Crazy.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

14. Clinton lost Texas.

FYI

[cboy4]

16. I think more people voted for her than Obama n/t

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

19. More people voted for her in the primary.

More people voted for him in the caucus.

As a whole, he won Texas.

Sorry if you don't like it. Them's the rules.

[cboy4]

21. So are the rules that the superdelegates make the

final call.

I better not hear any bitching about that bornagainhooligan.

"Them's the rules" after all.

Right? And rules are rules.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

22. The superdelegates will vote for Obama.

I'm not worried about that.

The delegates in Texas are based on proportional representation, so you're comparing apples and oranges.

[cboy4]

25. It's not at all apples and oranges. You will be throwing

things through the window if the superdelegates were to select Hillary Clinton.

And you would have no excuse for behaving that way, because you say rules are rules.


on edit...typo

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

27. OK, Bill Frist.

What's Terry Schiavo doing in heaven right now?

[cboy4]

28. The superdelegates haven't even ruled in Hillary's

favor and you're already showing signs of throwing a fit.

Don't forget the rules!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

30. Hmm?

If the current trend continues, Obama will win the superdelegates as well as the pledged delegates?

I'm throwing a fit?

I think you're projecting.

[Diane R]

39. Oh yeah. She has SO much Superdelegate support, they're standing in line to endorse her! LOL.

[roguevalley]

38. I am hoping he was joking, bornagainhooligan. but then you never know

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

40. You're probably right.

He's clearly got a rich sense of humor.

[skipos]

17. Obama has won

the most primaries, the most caucuses, the most blue states, the most red states, the most swing states, the most pledged delegates, the most votes but

Hillary has won the states with the most land mass!!! Wow!!! What a horse race this is!!!

[cboy4]

20. Not only the most land mass, but the most people.

Crazy!

[skipos]

26. So even though Obama was won the most people

she has won the states with the most people! We should exclude IL from the list, because Obama is from there, but we shouldn't exclude NY because... well... I don't know. Our nominee should ALWAYS be the person who wins the states with the most people and greatest landmass. Screw the pledged delegates and screw the popular vote!

[cboy4]

31. I was simply pointing out that all of the important states,

I mean, large states are supporting Hillary Clinton. lol

Where did I say that means she should be the nominee?

I simply pointing out trivia.

[skipos]

42. Here is some more trivia you might find interesting

[Asia Expat]

15. nt

:popcorn:

[Carrieyazel]

18. If Pennsylvania were winner-take-all, Hillary goes ahead of Obama on 4/22

That's how slim his lead is. Proportional representation's a great thing isn't it?

[havocmom]

23. Sadly, such 'results' wouldn't surprise me at this point

NSMA

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

24. NSMA?

?

[havocmom]

29. Nothing Shocks Me Anymore

A great ol time DUer and her name is still a relevant commentary ;)

[Melinda]

32. My heart jumped when I saw your post....

I loved Teena; she was my first and favorite DU buddy. This place has never been, and will never be, the same with her gone.

Thanks for the smile. :hi:

*edited to add: After posting this, I ran back to my inbox just to re-read some of our correspondence and I was reminded of how feisty yet lovely Teena was back in the day with her support of Kerry while I was firmly behind Dean.

Not a drop of animosity tween us, just mutual respect for our differences. I care not what other say... DU in 2003-04 was far less rancorous than the current campaign is.

[havocmom]

34. We pay homage to our mentor when we can

;)

When faced with a bunch of illogical posts or an army of control-freak posters, I still ask myself:
WWTD :D

[Melinda]

35. What a brilliant piece of introspection... may I use WWTD too?

BTW, you rock fairly well yourself. :hug:

[havocmom]

43. Feel free to use what I throw out there for people

and, thanks.

Say Hi to Teena now and then. If she doesn't see it, a little birdie might point it out to her ;)

[Dems Will Win]

33. Actually, she can win just 60% or so in PA

she will then only need 450 out of the remaining 325 super delegates.

It's in the bag.

[MindMatter]

37. Well, you seem to be forgetting Michigan

where she was the only candidate on the ballot. And she's been pushing to seat those delegates as is without ever having a real election or caucus. That's why she is still in the race. She is counting on those kind of crooked deals to win.

[Bright Eyes]

36. Thatnks for the laugh!

:rofl:

[mmonk]

41. I knew it was close.
